The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1887-08-03

in Washington on the night of last week
in which the buildings were struck by
lightning and consumed. 80 A good
friend, who has done hard work in en-
deavoring to rescue his fellows from the
fearful evils of intemperance, tells us of a
man who spent years in the saloon business
and who himself died from the use OF
liquors, though he gave up the sale of them
two or three years previous to his death.
Not so very long before he died one of his
fellows said in his hearing that he had no
hesitancy in drinking, when he turned to
him with warning, saying he believed the
curse of Almighty God rested upon whis-
key" and this though he disclaimed any
pretension to what are called religious views
of the matter. - We hear that Warner
Colby has given up work in Burlington on
account of i'll health. - One who went
West from here hoping for benefit to the
lungs is reported to us as having been freed
from a cough in very short time after ar
irving there. - Principal Daniel r..
Martin is expected to arrive here this week.
- Dr. Dana Dickinson of Boston is WIS.,
iting his sister, Mrs. Anna Hubbard. He
has been in very poor health for some time.
- Last year there were some earnest
discussions hereabouts concerning the liza
bility of carriers for transporting packages
that contained what they could hardly fail
to suspect of being beer, and yet they could
say they did not know absolutely what they
did contain, We have just received the
text of the decision of our supreme. court in
the case of State rs. l.. b. Goss, an express
and station agent at East Barnet, who had
delivered beer and liquors. (Judge l.. j.
Poland had been Mr.. Goss' attorney in the
Caledonia county court, and had set up the
plea that his client was "not liable unless
he had knowledge that the article he deliv
cred was Intoxicating liquor.D Judge
Rowell in delivering the opinion of the SUI
preme court, to which appeal had been
taken, said " the turning-point of the case
is whether the respondent (Goss) had reason
to believe, or suspect--for 1t appears that he
did not know-that these packages con-
tanned what they did. If he did he is
charged with notice of their contents and is
guilty" - Dr. Chandler of Montpelier
was called on Monday last to see Mrs.
Warren Poole, who is very feeble. 1t
seems to be a case of nervous exhaustion.
DIR. Chandler thinks she will recover though
some time may be necessary. - Miss
Mary, daughter of Henry A. Ainsworth
of Moline, ILL.,, will enter Wellesley College
next fall. - The latest word from eX-
Governor Smith to our railroad commits
sioners is that the Central Vermont will
build the Williamstown railroad if the re-
striction as to time can be removed, the
limit having been placed at November
Z, 1887.

First Revolutionary Martyr.

Although Christopher Snyder, a boy but
eleven years old, was really the first Boston
martyr in the cause of liberty, and was hon
ored as such by the patriots of the town,
to Crispus Attacks, who was killed a week
afterwards in the Boston massacre, is ac-
corded the honor, and a monument is to be
erected to his memory by the state of Massa-
chusetts on petition of coored citizens, who
claim him as one of their own race. The
Historical Society denounce this for the
reason that Attacks fell while promoting
riot, and recent writer in the Transcript
proves that Attacks was not mulatto,"
or colored man, according to the now popu-
lar Specification of the term, but a full
blooded Indian of birmingham, his name
proving his origin, returned from a whaling
voyage, and engaged in the fray from mere
human recklessness, without any patriotism
in his act at all. 1t was card for the patri-
OTIS, however, who kept the massacre "
before the people for their object until the
crisis had passed and then dropped it, as the
anti-Masons did the identity of Morgan
after election" But the statue will be
made, all the same, with crinkly hair or
without, according to the bias of the artist,
and Boston will be its site. Now the boys
should put in their pennies for a monument
TO little Chris. Snyder, with no doubt for a
moment of its propriety or person, with the
Latin inscription on his coffin, in solid EN-
phasis, placed upon the pedestal.-BoSton
Letter.
